Millions of people who cast the I Ching to find answers to their
deepest questions refer to the classic Wilhelm/Baynes translation
of the ancient Chinese divinatory text, The I Ching or Book of
Changes, published by Princeton University Press. The I Ching
Companion: An Answer for Every Question is a study guide to be used
in conjunction with the Wilhelm/Baynes translation. The I Ching
oracle has survived millennia exactly because of its elusive
nature. It is replete with phrases and imagery that are unfamiliar
to the Western mind. The text in itself tells many stories from
ancient China, when the Chou overthrew the Shang dynasty, and
contains every aspect of the human experience, both secular and
spiritual. Richards has compiled a concordance of the primary
symbols in the Wilhelm/Baynes text -- such as "to cross the great
water", "furthering", the four directions, colors, "the great man",
"the inferior man", and the "superior man" -- so that students of
the I Ching can conduct their own study and gain their own
understanding of how the changes described by the I Ching are
connected in an eternal cycle of beginning, conflict, and
resolution.
Richards offers detailed, yet easy-to-follow instructions for
consulting the oracle. Drawing parallels between the body's chakras
and the lines of a hexagram, she reveals an entirely new way in
which the I Ching can be used as a tool for achieving emotional
balance. The I Ching answers questions, and in so doing, peace of
mind -- our life's quest -- is attained. This guide can help
facilitate that quest.
